Se evaluó la aceptación de una nueva tecnología de manejo integrado del cultivo de papayo en el ejido Miralejos, municipio de Soledad de Doblado, Veracruz, México. Se encuestaron 32 productores antes y después de asistir a eventos demostrativos en tres parcelas del ejido. El análisis multivariado de componentes principales mostró evidencia significativa que engloba la opinión de los encuestados respecto a los cambios de actitud positiva hacia la tecnología
Agroproductividad es una revista de divulgación científica y tecnológica, auspiciada por el Colegio de Postgraduados de forma mensual para entregar los resultados obtenidos por los investigadores en ciencias agrícolas y afines. En esta edición los artículos presentes son: 1) Cadenas de importancia socioeconómica para el
El presente trabajo ofrece un panorama global del mercado existente de los productos de origen animal, principalmente de carne y leche, con el propósito de obtener un panorama general de la producción caprina y valorar algunas perspectivas de la producción caprina en México y el mundo. Se enfatiza en los sistemas tradicionales de producción caprina y las perspectivas de desarrollo de la producción caprina a distintos niveles: local, regional, nacional e internacional
Farmers in Asia like to grow cassava because the crop will tolerate long dry periods and poor soils, and will produce reasonable yields with little inputs. Most farmers realize, however, that cassava production on slopes can cause severe erosion, while production without fertilizer inputs may lead to a decline in soil productivity. Research has shown that cassava yields can be maintained for many years with adequate application of fertilizers, and that there are various ways to reduce erosion.

Coordinated formal efforts to generate technologies for enhancing agricultural development in Ethiopia was mainly rooted in formal research and development institutions up to very recently. A number of improved technologies have been generated wlth the efforts made so far and the superiority of some of the technologies over the traditional practices has already been proved, at least for the major commodities.
This guide is the second in a series of documents designed to support agencies implementing participatory agroenterprise development program operating within defined geographical areas.
This booklet is the third in the CIAT in Asia Research for Development series. It was based on the experiences of researchers and farmers working with the AusAID-funded Forages for Smallholders Project (FSP) in Southeast Asia from 1995 to 1999. This project was a partnership of smallholder farmers, development workers and researchers who were using participatory approaches to developing forage technologies on farms.
Some of the most promising and at the same time some of the most challenging areas of future food production are found in the savannas of South America. Integrating cropping, livestock, and forestry in these regions can increase the eco-efficiency of agricultural production. This chapter presents a case study of an integrated crop, livestock, and forestry system in Brazil. The study area is in Goiás State in the Cerrado region, a vast savanna covering almost one quarter of Brazil's land area.
Este trabajo de investigación busca entender cuáles son los factores institucionales y políticos que pueden impulsar o desincentivar la adopción de prácticas de adopción de prácticas agrícolas sostenibles adaptadas al clima (ASAC) por parte de los pequeños productores, en el caso de un país, Honduras, con una mirada tanto a nivel nacional como a nivel local.
